Displacement of implanted urinary sphincter, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication where a previously implanted artificial urinary sphincter has shifted from its intended anatomical position. This displacement can lead to device malfunction, urinary incontinence, or other related symptoms. It represents a residual effect or condition arising from the initial displacement event.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing issues directly attributable to a past displacement of their implanted urinary sphincter. This applies to follow-up encounters for management of the sequelae, such as persistent incontinence, pain, or infection, that are a direct result of the prior displacement. It is appropriate even if the displacement itself occurred in the distant past.

• Always assign a secondary code to describe the specific manifestation of the sequela (e.g., urinary incontinence, pain).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past displacement of the urinary sphincter.
• Do not use for acute or initial displacement; this code is specifically for sequelae.
